Overview
The Honda CTX 1300 is a cruiser produced from 2014 through 2019. The 2019 model has a liquid-cooled, fuel-injected 1,261 cm³ four-stroke V-four producing 83 hp (62 kW) and 106.0 Nm of torque at 4,500 rpm; its wet weight is 338.0 kg.
Its 735 mm seat height gives the rider a low seating position, while the 338.0 kg wet weight takes care when maneuvering at walking speed. The 19.50-liter tank holds more fuel than the 12.40-liter tank fitted in 2015, and shaft drive means there is no chain to clean or adjust. Saddle bags provide onboard luggage space. In 2016, the seat height changed from 720 mm to 735 mm and wet weight from 328.5 kg to 338.0 kg, alongside the larger tank.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Low seat
The 735 mm seat height can make it easier for shorter riders to reach the ground at stops.
Shaft drive
The shaft final drive avoids the cleaning and adjustment required by a chain.
Saddle bags
Built-in saddle bags provide space for carrying items on a ride.
Things to consider
Heavy at low speed
At 338.0 kg wet, the CTX 1300 takes more effort to push around or balance through a slow U-turn.

How to measure
Stand barefoot with your back to a wall. Hold a book firmly between your legs, then measure from the floor to the top edge of the book.
Estimated ground reach
Both feet likely flat
You should have a stable stance at a stop, although seat width and suspension setup still matter.
